Throughout the summer holiday, visitors to the Zoo can travel to exotic islands. The Zoo presents a different island every week.
The first stop was in Indonesia, represented by Kama, the first orangutan born in the Czech Republic in 1971. The orangutan was presented by its long-term keeper Denisa Ryšková. His partner Upity’s 25th birthday party was held on the occasion. Even Rony Marten came to wish her a happy birthday.
